Portishead5

Portishead are a British musical group from Bristol. They are mainly associated with the Trip Hop genre, although they have expressed distaste for the tag. The band is named after the nearby town of the same name, 13 km (8 mi) west of Bristol.
The band was formed in Bristol in 1991, by Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons and Adrian Utley. Previously, Barrow had been working as a tape operator (including work with Massive Attack and Tricky), Gibbons was singing in pubs, and Utley had played jazz guitar for Big John Patton and The Jazz Messengers. The trio created the short film To Kill a Dead Man, which was heavily inspired by espionage films, and its accompanying soundtrack persuaded Go! Beat Records to sign the band.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portishead_discography">
